Ok cool so if I have a single room in my house that I don't absolutely need then homelessness is my fault 🙄. I could also be working instead of posting so that I could earn more money to donate to any number of worthy causes so that makes me responsible for everything from world hunger to human trafficing. Or maybe, instead of expecting individual proles to solve structural problems, we could try actually assigning blame to the system and the people who designed it the way it is to serve themselves.

And I do have my reasons. My roommates and I have been looking at moving and one possibility we've considered having one person buy a place and working out a deal where the rest of us move in and rent. Since we may not always want to stick together, it doesn't really make sense for us to all be in on it. I wouldn't really have a preference in that scenario, except I might prefer to rent so that I wouldn't have to deal with all the hassle. Apparently Chapo thinks that if we did that then whichever one of us ended up in the role of having their names on the paper would be a horrible bastard exploiting the others, for some reason.

Another possibility was another friend who's married with kids was offering to let me move in, in exchange for doing the babysitting I get paid for now for free. I don't know if that's different somehow because I'd be paying with unpaid labor instead of with money?

I just think it's really dumb to condemn stuff like that or stuff like OP was suggesting just because you want to avoid the stain of being a landlord, without regard to the actual conditions involved. It's a very meme-level analysis imo.
